Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of smelting and environmental protection, in particular to a metal arsenic preparation device. Background Art

[0002] my country is a major producer of antimony. During the refining of antimony, a large amount of arsenic-alkali slag is produced. After the arsenic-alkali slag is leached and separated, the slag contains a large amount of arsenate. There has been no good environmentally friendly method for the disposal of arsenate in China. Some people extract sodium arsenate to make glass clarifiers for product takeaway, some make cement bricks after arsenic precipitation through calcification, some landfill, etc., but all these processed products have the problem of secondary pollution. For arsenic, trivalent materials are highly toxic, and pentavalent materials are toxic, but far less than trivalent materials. In the era when environmental protection requirements were not very strict, sodium arsenate was produced as a product for the glass clarification industry. Arsenic solidified in glass should be more ideal. However, the use of glass products may cause harm to humans and animals. Therefore, sodium arsenate is sealed as a glass clarifier. Sodium arsenate has also become a secondary pollutant, which is not allowed by environmental protection. Another way is to calcify sodium arsenate into calcium arsenate precipitation, mix it with cement to make bricks, and use it for underground filling. Long-term immersion in the underground may have the problem of failing the toxic leaching test, and it is not allowed to be adopted. If arsenic materials are to be completely harmless, there is only one way left, which is to prepare elemental metallic arsenic. Elemental metallic arsenic is harmless, can be used as a product, can be stored, and is greatly concentrated. There are many companies in China that use arsenic trioxide to make arsenic, but the environment is not protected, it is very harmful to the operators, and the recovery rate is low. This method has not been well promoted in China. With the breakthrough of key technologies for the comprehensive recycling and utilization of antimony, arsenic, and alkali cascades in the national key project of antimony refining arsenic alkali slag, the era of truly harmless arsenic materials has arrived, that is, the breakthrough of arsenic salt direct one-step reduction technology to make arsenic.

[0003] To this end, we design a metallic arsenic preparation device here. Utility Model Content
